Cooler Redux moment? Of sorts, even though the thick, tall glass of water captured above only appears for a brief moment in Drake’s new video for “Marvin’s Room.” I’ll wait on one of you hounddogs like Nello to ID her real quick.

Pretty good timing by Drizzy and the OVO team by releasing the video now because this track couldn’t get much hotter than it already is.

(Not in relation to this vid specifically because I have yet to even watch it… just a general thought)

Affordable cameras, Mac’s, and video software are saturating the music video market much like songs via Internet release have done. It is too much and too many. Do not get me wrong, I am all for up and coming/aspiring directors getting their shine – to not have to go through commissioners and the required 50k-100k budgets is necessary… but most of the stuff I see should be called something else man – for real. They need to come up with a new name (instead of “music video”) or use the industry standard “viral vid” because let us face it… that is what 90% of these are. The concepts are terrible. If you are going to have 100% freedom from label control, at least be creative.

If you happen to see this, is there an online family tree for Game of Thrones that you know of? I have to admit that I am hooked (major). But I am a bit confused about who Bran found before the fall. I thought it was brother and sister?

That is bugging me man!

(I know this thread is going to get some major looks so I posted here – apologies Gotty™!)

They are. I had to go back and watch it another time too. You know how royal families used to breed in-house to keep the bloodlines pure? That. And they’re also in love too. But they are on the low about all of that cause of course, they would be killed…slowly. Which is why Bran had to go flying. Fam, it only gets better.

I also agree with your sentiment about the viral videos. It’s a lot of quantity over quality being shipped out nowadays. My initial thought with Hi quality cameras being sold in the low thousands that there would be an influx of Little Xs and Chris Robinsons throwing up videos but unfortunately I think people rather feel that they would just be able to say that they “do it”, rather than do it…right.

@TRA: yup, they’re brother and sister. And I had to look it up to make sure too lol.

(And yes… the show is epic. Only just now finished the third episode but thankful for On Demand. I do not know how people were able to wait a whole week for the next one. An episode or two a day for me)

“Oh yeah, I’ll have more to say about this Drake fellow later”

————————————–

lol – I owe it to Gotty™ and the TSS fam to do the same!

Video doesn’t really fit the song, and the editing is annoying.

Drake is on that depressed shit. Disheveled looking and on that syrup. I’m undecided about the whole chopped and screwed stuff. It’s either alright or terribly bad.
Anyway, Marvin’s Room is the hottest shit right now. I know I’ve had it running at least 2 times a day.

Drive Slow Hommie. The production for season 2 has only been a few weeks in. The show is so good that I saw an interview where even the dead characters want back in lol. You should only do a ep a day MAX. There are only 10 eps in the season.

Only 10? And Season 2 JUST went into production? Man. I will try to slow down and limit myself for real then. Going to be difficult though.

I do not believe Rik is doing music videos much at all anymore. He was smart. Other directors use them strictly as a vehicle to move into features… Rik did not wait for a studio to back him… he is making features on his own (and great ones at that).

You’ll REALLY feel that way once you get around 5,6, and 7.
And once you finish it’s like crashing into a wall. We might not get a season 2 until early next year…

@TRA naw, you’ll probably feel the need to watch the whole season over again after the first time. I’m tempted to. That’ll keep me ready for season 2

check out the game of thrones books if you need your fix and have time (they are long). the first three are truly epic. the fourth was a little disappointing but the fifth one comes out in july. hopefully it will be better than the fourth.

So Game Of Thorns gets the C-Section co-sign huh?

Guess I gotta backtrack & play catch up.

am I the only person NOT watching Game of Thrones?

*sigh* fucking basic cable.

I kinda like the video… I think we have ALL been there (and if you haven’t, fuck it, you must be married).

It conveys the point it’s supposed to, the chick is bad, Drake has the 4-days-straight-in-the-studio look, and I still like this song.

But Aubrey has THEE highest screwed-up voice in the history of syrup drinkin niggas… smh

I don’t think the video is bad but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem like it’s the video for this song Or maybe it just seems like something is missing. But we all have opinions/assholes…

Is it just me or has Drake changed his whole demeanor ever since the Weeknd started blowing up. Drake’s vid’s and song content are all abount getting sloshed and set in a dark mood. Seem slike cross promo to me

CA.C AKA C.METH

dis video is too funny to me…why do i think that dis really happens to him in real..like he goes to the bar,drinks a lot,and then when he tries to talk to a girl they just diss him…to be honest i really DON’T HEAR the “GREATNESS” of this song like everybody else is hearing…its just the same ol drake to me nothing special #imjustsayin

ps:if one more person makes a “Marvin’s Room” remake..imma kill myself…and can something AGAIN tell me whats soooo “great” about this song?!?!?!?

This track is trash. Seriously. If he took more than 5 minutes putting the lyrics down I’d be surprised. You could listen to this track but . . . I think you could do betttterrrrrrrr.

I think they’re doing what Kanye did with 808s. That was kind of an intro to Cudi, so we could open up to his style.

=====================

Frank Ocean, Drake, and The Weeknd all probably loved 808s, and you can definitely hear traces of that, but it’s not the same.

This x50. Drake didn’t start drinkin so much till Weeknd dropped a whole album about gettin drunk, gettin high, gettin hoes, and getting said hoes high and drunk.

————————————————
Frank is alot less 808’s than the other two. He can actually craft a hell of a song. Crafting a song is a whole different thing than just making one

When you see a good Cash Money video let me know. I’m just glad its not behind their traditional shitty green screen
